Can't stay away... Update

[Ky2000]

Hello all,
My name is Neal and i live in Ky. I just bought a 1982 Spider. It is the 4th one that i've owned since i was 16. I started with a 1969, then a 1981, then another 1981, now a 1982. I always loved these cars and wanted a project for the winter. I will post some pics soon. Looking forward to lots of reading of posts on the forum.

Let me know what you think of the old girl.

She looks mighty handsome to me! Like the exhaust.

Looks great! Black is one of the best colors!

Wow, very clean! Your idea of a "winter project" looks good enough to me!

Thanks... It still needs some TLC, but it's in better shape then i thought it would be. The front suspension is all new, and it only has 75K on the clock. The top was put on in 1988, and is in rough shape. I am looking for a few missing parts and with a new top it will be complete.

Welcome. Good looking car. I was down in south western ky last week.and thought while I was there I would check the local junk yards for fiats or parts. Went to a couple in the area and they looked at me as if I was crazy for asking for fiat stuff. I guess what I'm saying is good luck getting parts local.

Thanks, years ago there were a few cars in the local yards. Ebay has most used parts i will need, but there not cheap.
A new top is my next upgrade. I'll look for a local place to install, then i'll order the top.
